Fashion Personalities
We often see a woman on the street who makes people stare and turn their head after her. She has this immaculate skin and deep thoughtful green eyes, or a marvelous elongated neck, high cheekbones and endlessly long legs or she is just somehow very [...]
Power Pairing
It's one of those warm autumn days just before the real chill settles in and I am enjoying an afternoon in a favourite bistro at Seefeld where they have this fantastic tabouleh salad with grilled cheese. The home-made lemonade is not too sweet and I [...]
Wake up little Susi
I met Susi Prinz thanks to a mutual friend - Cristina Bintintan, the owner of the Golden Carrot in Zurich. The minute I walked into Susi’s Atelier at Mittelstrasse 18 in Seefeld, I knew we will hit it off. Susi is one of those women [...]
Flower Power
I admit I was absolutely taken aback by the Oscar de la Renta fashion show in NY last week. This has nothing to do with the way Peter Copping showed his respect to Oscar de la Renta (the designer died in October 2014), drawing inspiration [...]

Fall’s Fairy Tales
The sales are almost over and I’ve had enough of spending on summer clothing (in fact I’ve hit the pause on summer shopping in June). So back in the city after a few days of getting back to the routine a sudden wave of melancholy [...]
Couture between two worlds
Persian women are known for their dignified beauty and strong personality, which stems from the significant role they had in the society of Ancient Persia. Having read a lot about such women makes me really curious about meeting Lida Nobakht, a fashion designer, born in [...]
What’s so funny anyway
A few years ago I read about the Women laughing alone with salad and later I stumbled on a research about more and more lonely women who laugh with their tablets instead of salad bowls...in a way we were again reminded of how much we [...]
Sweep me off my feet
You know what they say about the beginning of your day. It is really important how you will start. Well I have my little rituals in my little world and I this morning one of these ritual brought me another piece of joy which I [...]
